No. 5

Oh Chanel No.5 I try to hard to like you. I spray you at pulse points, on clothing, I even tried you in my hair. I've tried the perfume and the EDT but to no avail. You are just too strong for me, you shoot straight up my nose and smack me in the head and bring on a headache at first sniff. I will say that your lasting power is amazing though, it takes a good scrub to wash you off.

FOTD

Nothing special, i'm far too down for that. I do have the Lush event to go to today though so I have to try to look presentable at least. I'll update for the Lush event later on this evening.

List; Clinique superpowder, Sleek Kohl, Bourjois liner effect mascara,

RIP Lucky

One of my fish passed away today. He was only a few years old. Goldfish as i'm sure the more astute among you know, have the longest life of any aquarium fish and can easily make 20 years.

I take good care of my aquarium, I maintain the water well and I keep a good stock of medicines in case of illness. Unfortunately for poor Lucky the treatments didn't work this time.

I like to think that he had a good life. He was won at a fair by my sister's fiance's brother. I wonder if he ever thought he would end up living in a big posh aquarium when he was a baby fish at the fair? I'll miss you Lucky. I gave you all that I could and I hope you enjoyed your time with me. <3

New Haircut and FOTD

Got haircut yesterday and am very pleased with it. Though today I feel and look pretty rough (migraines again) I've uploaded a quick FOTD with my attempts to brighten and make me look more alive.

Base - Clinique superpowder in Matte Cream
Eyes - No.7 Antique Rose and No.7 Sultry eyes palette on the crease, Bourjois liner effect mascara, GOSH liquid liner
Cheeks - Origins Brush on Colour in Pink Halo
Lips - Body Shop Christmas Ltd Edition Vanilla and Nutmeg Balm

I assure it looks much more alive IRL than on screen XD

Eyeshadow, I choose you!

Think bright colours, you think pokemon. Or at least I do, and apparently so does Etsy shop Shiro Cosmetics.

Eyeshadows cost just $5.00 for a large pot of mineral goodness, and what's more all the products seem to be vegan friendly. With a whopping 15 mini jars for just $36.00 and free shipping you really can't go wrong. Colours come in rainbow brights, shimmers and all with the richly pigmented creamy texture that you know and love from mineral make-up.

Shades I'm loving;

Pikachu - Buttery smooth yellow with subtle red sparks.
Meowth - Creamy toasted Vanilla with a slight shimmer
Zubat - Blue toned pewter shot with silver
